I like the aesthetic, but I can't clearly imagine how I would interact with this. I would have to interact with something like this to really be able to judge how intuitable it is.
I'd go for slightly deeper colours, especially the right hand icons, I'd also have a grey shadow from them rather than a colour shadow as that would define them more :)
I feel something isn't quite right about this, to me the colour tabs feel detached, and don't sit quite right with the light blue part. I think mostly down to the shadows, and maybe the colours aren't quite right, but I do love the texture used in the background.
The reason I went with coloured shadows is because the post-its are transparent and so I wanted to make the shadows look realistic. If light was shining through them they would cast a coloured shadow.

I've been playing around with this layout style as a way to display categories in a sidebar.
The 'tabs' are supposed to look like those clear post-it bookmark stickers that you can buy.
Any feedback would be welcome

@Chris, thanks for your comments.

I'll have a play around with the colours though
